Dunno if my card can do 950 at 1.150v might test it soon and prove/disprove you heheQuote:

Well my screenshots wont prove or disprove anything lol!
don't know why only here i see this 580 running those high voltage for "low" speed.... :shrug:Quote:

wich vid does your gpu have?
@dumo , :ROTF:
1,012vQuote:

I confirm the reply to topic question is: "not necessarily".
With stock cooler I cannot bench, even with fan @85%, neither @931-1862-4204Mhz. I launch 3DMark11, first test OK, in the middle of the second istant freeze, even with 1.175V. A very strange behaviour seeing that I see no artifacts on screen.
I'll try with ~1.2V.
be carefull, your vga is not liquid cooled (1.2v on air cooling isn't so safe)
The strange thing is that it doesn't do any artifacts at all, I have just tried also with GPU-Tool, but after a minute of stress testing it makes NVIDIA driver reset (as if it hasn't enough power but it do has).Quote:

I'm leaning towards using GPU-Tool however I noticed that it mixed up core and shader clock readings. How reliable is the auto "find max" function?
Based on the adjustments options available with the tools available to me it doesn't seem necessary to flash my BIOS. Is it absolutely necessary to flash my BIOS to attain higher OCs?
usually if driver reset is like the voltage is not enough, but some times it does the same when memory speed doesnt match with the gpu speed.Quote:

hey don't worry! ;)
900mhz on stock cooling for 24/7 use should be fine and safe ^^
temperatures with 900mhz and stock cooling shouldn't go beyond 55/60 C°
:confused: what do you mean with that?Quote:

Thus far 875/1750/2004 tested stable at stock voltages (1.0125) and fan at 65%. Stability was tested using a 1hr OCCT GPU Test at 1024*768, I'll continue to test its stability via 3dmark vantage
I'll start posting with screenshots when I achieve something noteworthy.
sure? O_o i i was getting those temps while i was on stock c. 900mhz with 1.025v and 70% fan ..... but i do not have no more screens to proove that, anyway ... temps are not a issue , remaining on 900mhz speed, with 1.025voltages , since is near to stock, but i'm talkin about Paradoxx and my vga, not yours, 1.088vid :ROTF: :up:Quote:

what's max voltage? 1.150v?
like 950mhz and 2050/2100Ram, when it should be 950/ 2200/2250Ram this is what i mean.Quote:

Using synthetic tests like 3dmark or heaven2.5 is not a clear indication of stability for my card as I can run 950Mhz @ 1.088v all day long and on the next day the first run would show a rendering glitch which happens so rare, so yeah I can say my card is stable at 1.088v @ 950Mhz core depending on what we are testing it at.
Yeah.Quote:

Would be a good idea to move the general GTX580 discussion over to the GTX580 oveclocking thread. This thread was about 1.025 VID cards overclocking investigation and its well and truly way off topic and I think best left alone now unless someone has more VID vs clocks related info.
Here you are the impact of overclocking GDDR5 over 4200Mhz, impact near to zero:
4200Mhz
http://3dmark.com/3dm11/984389
4300Mhz
http://3dmark.com/3dm11/984436
4400Mhz
http://3dmark.com/3dm11/984475
And you are making assumption based on 850MHz GPU testing? :confused:Quote:

LOL your delta is of 800Mhz, mine just 200Mhz and of course with less limitations (as in your hardware configuration) it counts more (even if only about 3% with a 20% increase).Quote:
